Long Lost (A Hayes Grier Fanfic)

Chapter 1

Cassidy's POV

I stepped out of my covertible and into the crisp California air. I took a deep breath and walked into the lobby of the university to be assigned my dorm. I spotted a large desk and walked over.

"Excuse me? I am here to be assigned my dorm."

The women looked over at me,

"Sure thing sweetheart, can I have a name?"

"Cassidy Brown."

"Alright, you are in dorm 119 and your roomate is Jordan Griffis."

I stood still, petrified. Jordan was Hayes's girlfriend or ex, I have no clue, but the point is that she hates me and used to pick on me.m

"Okay, thank you." I slightly smiled and walked down a long hallway.

My heart was racing as I turned the dorrknob. I stepped into the room and there she was, Jordan Griffis, the girl who hates me, and I hate right back.

Jordan stared at me, and I looked directly at the ground.

Jordan's POV

There stood Cassidy Brown in my dorm, as my room mate. I glanced at her and thought to myself.

"Why did I bully her" She was beautiflul. She was medium height, with long wavy blonde hair and tan skin. She was wearing faded and ripped high-waisted shorts with a floral crop top and white Vans.

Next thing I knew,

 "Sorry Cassidy, you are a beautiful girl, and never deserved any hate." I blurted.

Cassidy looked up at me with a calm amd relieved face. I slowly approached her and hugged her, she hugged back, then I whispered,

"I was just jealous because Hayes broke up with me, and he liked you"

Cassidy's POV

" I was just jealous because Hayes broke up with me, and he liked you" Jordan whsipered.

My jaw dropped and my eyes widened.

"What?"

Jordan looked at me and said,

"He liked you Cassidy, a lot!"

"Then why did he bully me?" I scoffed aggravated at the memories of him beating me and saying cruel things.

"Show of affections, his popularity and fame got the best of him, and it was irratating."

"Oh", was all that I could say.

For the rest of the night, Jordan and I just laughed, watched movies, and threw popcorn at each other. I was still astonished at the fact the Hayes, at one point, liked me. Nothing made sense to me.

-FLASHBACK-

My brother, parents, and I walked over to the Grier's house for Christmas dinner, just like we did every year.

This year was much different though. It was the year that Hayes started bullying me. Normally, I was excited to go to the Grier's, but now I was extremely nervous. My heart was beating so fast that I thought I was going to pass out, and my palms were sweating.

Nash opened the door, and greeted and hugged all of my family. My parents went into the kitchen, My brother Daniel went with Nash, and I just stood in the foyer alone.

I wish that people knew all of the horrible things that Hayes has done to me. I never have the confidence to tell anyone. Also, I do not want Hayes to have to face any trouble, even though he causes me much more.

I slowly walked up the stairs and turned into Hayes's bedroom. He was sitting on his bed intently texting someone. Probably, Jordan.

I cleared my throat and Hayes quickly turned his head towards me.

"Nice job, now Jordan can't come over because your worthless body is in my house."

Tears pricked at the rim of my eyes. I couldn't stop myself, I was full out crying.

"I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU, YOU JUST TURNED ON ME IN A MATTER OF SECONDS! I NEVER THOUGHT THAT MY BEST FRIEND THAT I LOVED MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE SCHOOL WOULD EVER HAVE THE ODASITY TO HURT ME! BUT GUESS WHAT? YOU PROVED ME WRONG!"

I turned around and everyone, including the parents, were standing in Hayes's doorway. I turned at Hayes and he looked at me with sympathy. I shook my head at him because I had enough of his fake pity. I turned around and pushed my way through the parents. I ran over to my house and heard Hayes running after me. I just wanted to be alone, like I always am. I got into my house and sat with my back against the door. My breathing was unstable and my head was throbbing.

" I am sorry Cassidy. Please let me in." Hayes spoke with a soft voice that he use to comfort me with.

I began crying again, this time even worse then before. Hayes never meant a thing he said. Most of the time I have to dessever what is and is not a lie.

"What are you going to do, kick me some more and tell me im worthless!" I yelled.

"We both know that isn't going to happen Cassidy."

My blood boiled because that was the biggest lie I have ever heard come from his mouth. With his remark, I opened the door and said,

"We both know that is true Hayes. You believe your own lies, and you beat me all of the time in school. Just because I am not 'popular', doesn't mean I am worthless. You need to gain your composure back. You have changed so much that your eyes are not a soft, soothing blue, they are icy and stern, you are not sensitive and caring, you have made me believe in the things that you told me. Not only have I lost my best friend, but the feelings in my heart. I have a barrier around me and am always numb. I know that once we step into the school once more, I will be your punching bag and target.That is not what I want to be Hayes. You just lost one of your real best friends, so you can hop back into Jordan's arms, but just leave leave me alone, Goodbye Hayes."

Hayes shed a tear and said,

"I am sorry I have ever made you feel that way Cass I-"

"It is Cassidy, only my friends call me Cass, and it it very evident that you are not my friend."

Hayes sighed, "Sorry Cassidy."

With that he turned around and walked back to his house, and I was continually bullied by him from that day on.

-End of Flashback-

"Cassidy are you okay?"

Jordan was shaking me and had a very worried look on her face. I was dripping sweat and had tears running down my face.

"Yeah, I'm fine, thank you."

Jordan half-smiled, "Goodnight."

"night"

I fell into a deep sleep.
